 Sex
has always been an issue of dichotomy. An integral part of our
lives and essential for the continuation of the species, it is far
more than just a technical necessity. While social structures in
India are quite strict on this, the study of sex - from both its
physical and psychological perspectives - has been practiced here
from ancient times. Unlike in the west, where this is a fairly
recent phenomenon and they are yet to find the proper line of
distinction between sex in general and pornography in particular.
 On
the other hand
Maharishi Vatsayan's Kamasutra is yet unparalleled as
the most comprehensive documentation ever on the practice of sex.
Unfortunately, its classic treatment of the act and the art has
often been misrepresented. The ancient Ayurvedic text of Charaka
Samhita provided complete sexual solutions over 3000 years ago And
the time-frozen, stone-carved, erotic sculptures in the temples at
Khajuraho and Konarak leave millions of visitors utterly
awe-struck by their sheer beauty, elegance and variety. An undying
testimony to how intrinsic sex was to the daily lives of people in
ancient India.
The importance of sex in our lives has remained
quite unchanged. The crucial points to be kept in mind in relation
to the same being :
-
Sex is an integral part of our daily habits (Dinacharya).
-
Night and after two hours of dinner is the
ideal time for intimacy, as it is kapha time.
-
An absolutely satisfying sexual union, when
developed over time, bestows you and your partner with health
and vitality.
-
For best results, each of the partners should
be physically, emotionally and spiritually involved with the
other.
-
Touch, smell, food, music and ambience play a
vital role in developing, increasing and prolonging intimacy.
-
Perverted or unsatisfying sex has adverse
effects on your mental and physical health, as it aggravates
your vital energies (doshas) and reduces immunity. An aggravated
vata will make you more emotionally vulnerable
and fear-prone, increased pitta will move you to anger and even
frustration and enhanced kapha will make you more possessive.
-
The frequency of sex depends on your
constitution and seasons - kapha types indulge in sex more
frequently than your vata &
pitta types thanks to the extra
stamina they possess.
-
Vata types might find satisfaction in
changing partners. While the
difficult-to-quench-their-desires pitta types are usually in
quest for
more intensity.
For more and better sex therefore, one can
practice Vajikaran therapy (virlification) - that part of Ayurveda
which enhances male fertility and potency. However, any misuse of
the same may open up a deluge of emotional and psychological
complications. Use of similar medication (aphrodisiac supplements)
instantly induces sexual pleasure and excitement, increases sexual
stamina and promotes fertile seminal secretions.

that can occur the remedies have been listed below:

advancing years, the male desire for sexual intercourse tends to
taper off early and sexual intimacy tends to become
unsatisfactory.
Herbal Remedy :
7) IMPOTENCY :
Mainly psychogenic in origin, it is directly
related to anxiety regarding sexual performance.
Herbal Remedy :
In the west there was some initial therapeutic
enthusiasm over use of testosterone in impotence. But it did not
stand the test of time. According to an article in The British
Medical Journal testosterone is quite ineffective when impotence
is the sole symptom and testosterone levels per se are largely
irrelevant. Its rise in blood level is secondary to sexual
arousal. The reduction in the plasma testosterone level, which may
be found in chronically impotent men, probably reflects sexual
apathy rather than causes it. This is in accord with the generally
disappointing results using androgen replacement. And the high
incidence of impotence in old age is not hormonal in origin.
